FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 14, 2010
for the Goliad ISR Project in South Texas
Corpus Christi, TX - December 14, 2010 - Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE AMEX:
UEC, the 'Company') is pleased to announce that the Commissioners of the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) have now approved the Mine
Permit and the Production Area Authorization for Production Area One
(PA-1), and have granted the request for designation of an Exempt Aquifer
for the Company's Goliad in-situ recovery (ISR) project in South Texas.
The approvals, granted today, bring a conclusion to an administrative
hearing, which is part of the State's permitting process.
With this important milestone, the Goliad project only has one remaining
Texas authorization pending, a Radioactive Material License (RML). The RML
application is at an advanced technical review stage with TCEQ. The Company
is planning to file updating information to TCEQ in mid-January. Upon
receiving the updated information, TCEQ will move toward concluding its
technical review of the RML.
Harry Anthony, Chief Operating Officer, lauded the ruling, stating, 'We are
grateful to TCEQ for its review and informed position regarding the Goliad
project. We are, of course, aggressively developing the final data for the
RML. Upon approval of the RML, the Goliad project could then join the
Palangana project as the Company's second producing asset in South Texas.'
About the Goliad In-Situ Recovery (ISR) Project
The Goliad ISR project is one of Uranium Energy Corp's four ISR uranium
projects (also referred to as satellite projects) in South Texas and is
located 40 miles east of the Company's Hobson ISR processing facility. The
facility at Hobson forms the basis of the Company's regional operating
strategy in the South Texas Uranium Belt and is designed to process
uranium-loaded resins from satellite projects to a final product commonly
known as yellowcake or U3O8. The Company's near-term plan is to have
Goliad ISR production processed at Hobson along with current production
from the Palangana project.

construction activities, title disputes or claims limitations on insurance
coverage. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors
that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially
from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other
factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated,
estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will
prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers
